Autoregulation of cluster root and nodule development by white lupin CCR1 receptor-like kinase

The paper identifies CCR1 receptor-kinase as a negative regulator of cluster root and nodule development in white lupin, revealing a novel systemic pathway called AoDev that coordinates root organ development independently of symbiotic interactions.

Network-level dynamics underlie stress memory and shape the intrinsic limits of mechanically induced defense priming.

The paper investigates how mechanical stress induces transient immune priming in Arabidopsis, showing sustained gene activation and dynamic network memory that limits resistance.

SIEGA the integrated genomic surveillance system of Andalusia, a One Health regional resource connected with the clinic

SIEGA is a genomic surveillance system that integrates data from humans, animals, and the environment to monitor infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

The relationship between gut and nasopharyngeal microbiome composition can predict the severity of COVID-19

The paper identifies microbiome biomarkers and a gut-nasopharyngeal microbiota ratio that predict severe COVID-19 outcomes.

Molecular and phylogenetic characterization of the monkeypox outbreak in the South of Spain

The paper characterizes the monkeypox outbreak in southern Spain using whole genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, identifying mutations potentially linked to drug resistance.

Viroscope: plant viral diagnosis from NGS data using biologically-informed genome assembly coverage

Viroscope improves viral diagnosis from NGS data by using biologically-informed genome coverage thresholds, achieving sensitive and specific detection across field and synthetic datasets.

New distribution data and phylogenetic approach reveal bioregionalization of the western Palearctic ants

This study uses new distribution data and phylogenetic analysis to map biogeographic regions of western Palearctic ants, revealing patterns influenced by geographic barriers and climate history.

Pathogen-derived mechanical cues regulate the spatio-temporal implementation of plant defense

The paper shows that mechanical cues from fungal pathogens trigger immunity in distant plant cells through changes in cell wall tension and cortical microtubule reorganization.

NFIC regulates ribosomal biology and ER stress in pancreatic acinar cells and suppresses PDAC initiation

This study identifies NFIC as a regulator of acinar cell differentiation and ER stress, showing its role in suppressing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma initiation.

Cast away on Mindoro island: lack of space limits population growth of the endangered tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis)

The study analyzes the population dynamics of tamaraws in a protected area, finding density-dependent feedbacks and range contraction despite overall population growth.

Overt and covert paths for sound in the auditory system of mammals

The paper proposes and experimentally supports a bioelectronic pathway for high-frequency sound transmission in mammals, complementing the traditional mechanical pathway.
